Okay, so I wanted to put together something special for my boyfriend, just a little something to show him how much I appreciate him. I’m not always the best with words, so I figured I’d gather some “appreciation quotes” and make a cute little… thing. I wasn’t sure what that thing would be yet, but I knew where to start!
Gathering the Quotes
First, I grabbed my phone and just started searching for “appreciation quotes for him.” I browsed a couple of different websites, looking for quotes that felt… real. You know, not too cheesy or over-the-top. Something that actually sounded like something I would say, or at least, something that captured how I feel.
I jotted down a bunch in my notebook, some short and sweet, others a bit longer. I wanted a good mix, so I could pick and choose later.
- “You make even the mundane feel magical.”
- “Thank you for being you, exactly as you are.”
- “I appreciate your strength, your kindness, and your goofy sense of humor.”
- “Every day with you is a gift.”
- “I’m so grateful to have you in my life.”
- “I’m not always good at saying it, but I appreciate you so very much.”
I picked the quotes I liked the best. I tried reading a couple of them to myself in the mirror.
Putting It All Together
I spent some time thinking about how I wanted to present these quotes. Write them in a card? Maybe, but that felt a little…basic. I thought to do something creative, and finally landed on something I felt good about.
I ended up taking some nice paper, writing out each quote in my best handwriting (which isn’t saying much, haha), and then decorating the paper with some doodles and hearts. I found a cute little box that will help put them all together.
I’m not an artist by any means, but I think he’ll appreciate the effort. It’s the thought that counts, right? And honestly, just the process of collecting these quotes and thinking about all the things I appreciate about him made me feel good. It’s a win-win!
I’m excited to give them all to him! Hopefully, he likes it, I will have to wait to find out.
